BookBuugs

BookBuggs is a book review and sharing club that meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30 p.m. This is a different kind of book club. There is no assigned book, just a discussion of books that we've read. Everyone shares information about a couple of books at each meeting and we all take note of titles that WE would like to read. Consider joining us! Drop by the Community Room on the first Tuesday of each month. Bring your notebook!

And Patterson Publishes Another One!

Coloring Outside the Lines

Do you have worries, tension, or anxiety in your life? It has been proven that coloring, at any age, has meditative qualities and reduces stress. Join us for the popular Coloring Outside the Lines program on Saturday, May 5, 2018 from 1-3 PM. Get ready for a relaxing afternoon of coloring for Adults, and tap into your inner creativity! We will provide different designs to color along with colored pencils. Register for this program by calling the Windsor Locks Library at 860-627-1495 or visit us at www.windsorlockslibrary.org.

Passport to CT Libraries

As April comes to a close, so does the Passport to CT Libraries program! We have had many wonderful patrons come into our library -- many for the first time, and we hope not the last!

Today is the last day to come into the library to get a stamp in your passport, and a prize. And, don't forget to hand in your passport in order to be entered for the grand prize!

Are You in the Mood to Bake?

Every once in a while those of us who enjoy baking need a pan that we just don't own. We can't all be as well-equipped as professional bakers, after all!

Why go to the expense of purchasing a pan, cookie cutter, or casserole dish that you may never use again? Remember that lamb pan in your attic for the cake that you absolutely had to make for Easter 15 years ago?

Now you can check baking pans out at Windsor Locks Library! We have cupcake pans, bundt pans, springform pans, character pans, and more, as well as some casseroles and cookie cutters.

Don't go out and buy that special pan! Check it out at the library instead!

Pans can be circulated for one week at a time with one renewal. They must be hand-washed and they must be returned to the circulation desk here at our library (no, they won't be sent back to us if you try to return them to another library).

Stop at the circ desk and ask to look at our "catalog" of baking pans, then get out your bowls and spatulas, preheat that oven, and get creative!
